How to ski in Engelberg
Engelberg spreads out from the village at 1000 metres and rises straight up towards the summit of the Titlis massif at 3 238 metres, giving you a substantial vertical drop to play with over the course of a day. Beginners and families will find their open, gentle slopes close to the village, where the lifts are easily reached straight from your accommodation and the terrain is flat enough for those first turns.
The higher up the ski area you go, the steeper and more demanding the pistes become. The upper section towards the glacier holds a large share of the resort's red and black terrain, and this is also where the off-piste skiing draws the more experienced. With 35 per cent red pistes and 25 per cent black, there is plenty of challenge for anyone wanting to leave the quieter slopes near the village behind.
The 82 kilometres of piste served by 25 lifts are divided into several sectors with different characters, and you can move between them during the day without having to return to the village unnecessarily. The rotating cable car up to Titlis is a key link in the system and means you can travel all the way to the top station without changing several times.
A practical tip: because the vertical drop between the village and the summit is so great, the snow often holds up better in the upper parts of the ski area, while the pistes closest to the village can turn heavy later in the season. It is worth planning your trip up to Titlis early in the day, as the popular cable car easily attracts queues around the middle of the day.
